Updated to V21U.

What dark timeline am I living in where you have to explicitly tell people, "Uninstall the old version. Install the new version."

To be fair, there are a lot of idiots about (i.e. me), and also many careless people too (that demographic includes me too), so it never hurts to issue a brief reminder of common sense things, just in case.

Imagine how stupid the average person is. Then realise half of them are stupider than that.

That's a George Carling quote, isn't it? He was brilliant, one of the very few genius comedians with the twin gifts of being able to (a) point out something that you've known about and taken for granted all of your life but he makes you realize how stupid it really is, and (b) being able to make his explanation somehow sound hilarious.

just making sure, because I know people sometimes do that.

shouldn't really matter, but why not. make sure to update properly, disable/remove the old 400 modfolder and create a new one for the latest build - do not pour the new files into the old 400 folder and overwrite (this is a general recommendation, not exclusive to the 400 mod).

That's good advice, thanks.

AccFam_20 is this mod, just an older version AFAIK

So replace it with the new version

Will do, thanks mate. I should place the new version in the same list position as before, I take it?

I'm surprised to see that I don't seem to have this mod in my SS2 set up. My recent setup is here:



I've since added a few mods that were recommended in that thread, but not the 'Four Hundred (400)' mod. Where should I place this mode, please?

Exactly this unflitered textures with supersampling is my preferred look for those kind of games, even though I must admit the 400 mod makes a good case for re-enabling the filtering.
If you like unflitered textures as well, I highly recommend doing Vulkan supersampling. Use the d3d9.dll from the 32 bit folder of the DXVK project (currently version 2.2) and place it next to the game's exe, and then create a file near the exe too named dxvk.conf, and add inside:

d3d9.forceSampleRateShading = True

It will transform the "multisampletype" variable of the cam_ext.cfg file into super sampling anti aliasing for the entire image, not just for transparency, if you set multisampletype 4 for example it will do SSAAx4 instead (sort of), of course it is heavy on the GPU but that goes without saying.

There are also many other benefits to running the game under Vulkan, like making it much easier to capture the game with VRR displays.

Are radioactive barrels a 400 thing?

F​our Hundred is a mod for System Shock 2 that replaces the original terrain textures

Literally the second sentence of the first post. Barrels are not terrain. Barrels are objects.

Are radioactive barrels a 400 thing?

I can't speak for Deu Sex, but I would wager it's probably because Four-Hundred and SHTUP with texture filtering disabled looks quite sharp and nice with the old-school software look, rather than being a blurry mess?

correct.

I found 2 instances of textures that could be updated:




There's also the environmental regulator machine, didn't take a screenshot of that one though.

I'm about to do a minor update to 400. If anyone thinks there are any textures that could use improvement, now's the time to speak up.

SCP beta 5? What year is now? Am I missing something?

SCP beta 4, the op mentions a beta 5 though.

I found that the snow texture in the ops deck storage is still using the outdated texture. For comparison, the snow on the Hydro deck. Speaking of which, those metal pipes in the Hydro deck pic cause the wrench swing sound to cutoff when struck; not for the scope of this mod but still worth noting.

There's a typo in the file Fam/_ACC/MW0004.INC. This line:
texture FAM\_ACC\MW004Should read:
texture FAM\_ACC\MW0004Not a huge problem since it's for an unused texture, but should be fixed eventually.

400 top, vanilla bottom.

you mean RealSG and player shotgun muzzle flashes? don't merge that in I think, with the latest ND release, I should be able to cook up an universal RealSG build that will autodetect vanilla/SCP/Secmod/FMs/whatever and activate all the required bits accordingly (cshock2.gam.dml, lines 67-219, those are some real duct tape and chewing gum shenanigans right there, not something you want saved in your gamesys. feel free to rip the proper setup from SCP if you want proper player shotgun muzzle flashes in your fan missions). I would also omit the snippet that modifies the cig size, I was just playing with that, and didn't really like it in the end.

making the rick turrets corpse properly would be advisable though (again, check the SCP setup). the map fixes are also worthy of a look.

also, fixing those parts of the geometry that are way, way too tall (and some objects that are placed way too high on the walls) would be great.

ACC is gone from the forums, and not sure whether it's possible to contacted him via other means (would check those links in the first post). generally, people are fine with other people reusing their resources as long as proper credit is given.

also, Ponterbee update? nice - maybe check the dml bugfixes, merging them into the new version probably wouldn't be a bad idea.

there are a few extras, but nothing has been moved in that fashion.

anyway, lets get back on track - apart from the rad pipes, any other SCP specific textures that could potentially cause problems on vanilla maps?

if you mean stuff like a bunch of nanites now not stuck in a bench half way, but placed properly next to it, then that's pretty much just a fix. I was thinking more along moving a gun to the other side of the level, and I don't believe that has been done anywhere (there have been a few additions though).

99% no (off the bat, I can remember one exception, or rather, an addition).

Yah, definitely not. DMLs only work with objects, and a select few gamesys properties.
